Human Traffic wants to be a Trainspotting for the rave set, and so it has thick British accents, hip snotty attitudes, slick visuals, a propulsive electronic soundtrack, and unfortunately some very weak writing and drab characters. A band of friends, with the cute names of Jip, Koop, Nina, Lulu, and Moff, are sex-obsessed clubgoers having some sort of premature midlife crisis. Jip and Lulu are best friends, only their friendship is about to be threatened by sexual tension. Koop gets ravingly jealous about his girlfriend, Nina. Moff masturbates a lot and has a repressive dad. Jip's mother is a prostitute. Koop's father is a paranoid schizophrenic. What little plot there is revolves around whether or not they'll get into a particularly hip club. Critics usually complain that movies are too much like music videos, but Human Traffic could stand to be more of one. All the best moments are when the tepid dialogue stops and the driving beats and quickly edited images take over. A brief break dancing sequence is a moment of genuine dazzle. The actors aren't completely without charm, but the movie is just trying too hard to achieve the effervescent buzz it seeks. --Bret Fetzer

 Human Traffic July 24, 2008
Nathan Ortiz (Milwaukee, WI)
This cult classic takes place in Britain. It depicts a group of friends who all get together on a weekend to have an epic, drug filled, psychedelic weekend. Along the way you meet all the main characters who all have their own unique personalities. This movie taps into a wide range of audiences...because of it unique story telling and its strong character development. It is a must have for anyone who likes comedies or for people who know where this movie is coming from :)
good movie even better message June 23, 2008
Michael Hardin (Atlanta, GA USA)
Early on, camera angles were really quirky and made me scratch my head trying to understand what was happening. The quick scene changes into the protagonists head showing thought process provides a good bit of humor though. Overall, funny movie about growing up.

Liked the movie, but I saw it already and couldn't remeber it ... so it didn't stick ... Still, I liked the chatting and the view on nightlife in England ... It's nice
 Super Funny. January 3, 2007
L. McInnis (Boston, MA, USA)
It is a great to see life of young adults from Cardiff, Wales who love clubing.....and how they spend their entire week planing their weekend. It's a crazy bizarre club life you will experience in this movie.
Good buy.

All I have to say is that this film used to be a seminal part of the build up to my nights on the town. Re-discovered it again recently and still love it! It isnt a complex film but you feel part of the build up, part of the craziness and the slow comedown at the end. It even takes the odd pot shot at the drug culture that makes up the core of this film. The whole soundtrack is fantastic and seems to pick up on the moods so well. Finally it manages to pull out all those great and pointless thoughts and conversations you have on a night out that make that always seem spot on! A film that for better or worse will always have pride of place in my collection.
